AgCorps Community Education Specialist
 
 
 
Land to Hand is a non-profit, community organization founded by families, farmers, and community leaders from around the Flathead Valley. The mission of Land to Hand is to build a strong community food system that fosters socially just ways of accessing food. Our work is focused on Food Access and Education. We know that food security means access by all people at all times to enough food for a healthy life. At a minimum, this includes the ready availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods and the assured ability to acquire personally acceptable foods in a socially acceptable way. Our Food for All programs help alleviate the stress of affording fresh, local food and give community members the opportunity to control their food choices. Education is a way of ensuring that all people in our community know how to grow, cook, and enjoy food and have the access to knowledge and resources to live resilient lives. Our education programs empower kids and adults to be a part of growing the next generation of cooks, gardeners, farmers, ranchers, seed savers, and eaters. This position will be primarily focused on our Farm to School education program which includes hands-on gardening, cooking, and nutrition lessons, the afterschool Wildcat Garden Club, summer camp, and Harvest of the Month taste tests. We work all over Flathead County doing food access and education work, particularly food systems lessons and seed saving education. Our school-based farm to school and garden education takes place predominantly in the Columbia Falls school district which is a rural community and serves multiple small towns including Martin City, Hungry Horse, and Coram. This position will be in the office approximately 30% of the time and serving with schools or in the garden 70% of the time.
